1973 Ventura Custom

[emeisner]

I have recently purchased a '73 Ventura Custom Hatchback that needs some work. There are a few parts that I need. I am willing to drive anywhere in Florida but much further than that will have to be shipped.

Parts looking for:
Stock front seat (the past owner put racing seats in it)
Stock seat belts
Dash replacement parts
Trunk cover (cover that went over the rim and jack in the back)
Jack that came with the car
Small rim that came with the car

Willing to look at other parts as well. I am basically trying to get this car back down to stock everything except engine.

The Ventura has become very popular with the drag racers. I would suggest plowing through Craig's List locally (are you in Florida?). I would bet someone is parting one out somewhere, if not just to make a racer out of it (might be able to trade those racing seats to someone!).

If you wish to hunt further away, one of our members in Missouri has written a number of Junk Yarding articles that you can find in our On-Line Magazine at: http://www.pontiacregistry.com/members/magazine_contents.php?view=1&pinboard=10. The reason I mention that is because he located quite a number of Venturas while exploring. I believe we have the salvage yards' names and contacts mentioned in most of the articles.

Don't forget to post some Parts Wanted in our Classified section too.

Have you widened your search for some of those items to Nova? I bet some are the same.
